I've divided a few in my time. Not easy are they? I like to see them big
and majestic, it depends on how much space you have in the garden
though. They can be propagated via the seeds too quite easily.
That's interesting - about the seeds
Phormium seems to be one of the things that grow well around here
(South-West of Ireland) - and don't seem to mind the winds or the
salt-spray.
We thought of buying some pot-grown plants - and then thought about
seeds....
Any idea how fast-growing they are - how old would your typical 12"-high
potted garden centre phormium be ??
(Want fairly fast results in the garden - but also careful of the
pennies / cents ! g)
